2022 MLB All-Star week schedule includes Futures Game on Saturday

Tuesday at Dodger Stadium saw the Dodgers, Major League Baseball, and the city of Los Angeles announce plans for All-Star week in and around downtown in July.

Dodger Stadium hosts the MLB All-Star Game for the first time since 1980. But while that Tuesday, July 19 game — called by Joe Davis from his home booth in his new role as Fox Sports’ No. 1 MLB announcer — is the main attraction, a slew of events are scheduled in the week prior to the game.

The main change to this year’s schedule is moving the MLB Futures Game to Saturday, separating it from Sunday’s first round of the MLB Draft, which shifted last year to coincide with All-Star week going forward.

Here’s a look at the schedule of events in and around Los Angeles for a five-day span. First up, the Dodger Stadium events.

MLB All-Star Game

Tuesday, July 19

This is the fourth time the Dodgers have hosted the midsummer classic, having also done so in 1949 (Ebbets Field, Brooklyn), 1959 (LA Coliseum), and 1980 (Dodger Stadium). Game is televised by Fox.

Home Run Derby

Monday, July 18

ESPN will televise this event, which has found new life with the bracket-style matchups and timed rounds in recent years. Also on this day at Dodger Stadium is the All-Star workout.

MLB Futures Game

Saturday, July 16

The annual showcase of top prospects throughout the sport. Last year, Michael Busch and Andre Jackson represented the Dodgers.
